if ireland were forced to play for us, he'd either find some way out of it or score 10 own goals in his comeback match. worst thing about what i just said is, its probably true
I think it is covered in FIFA's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players:Quote:

released pursuant to the provisions of this annexe. This restriction on

We're not gonna try force some one to play for us citing regulations, when they clearly don't want to... That's the kind of sh!t the do up North :p

You expect the father to support the son and nothing else. SI should do his own talking i.e. if he has anything to say.

I know that Trapp's grasp of English is not great but waht exactly does this statement mean? Taking "Ireland into consideration" sounds like his absence from the squad is down to selection not his self-imposed exile. Is that right? The comment about proving his "Irishness" could hardly be less diplomatic and concilliatory. He sounds like a poster on this site not someone whose job it is to get the best from our best players to achieve the best results. I am afraid that these comments confirm my worst fears about the ineptitude of the FAI and the current management in resolving this ludicrous stand off with Ireland. Whetever Trapp was trying to say he should have avoided saying it and concentrated on having a face to face conversation with Ireland instead.Quote:

Ya I think Sky Sports may have left out a line or two which makes it sound a bit less friendly than it was. I had read about it already in the Examiner and it sounded slightly better I think.Quote:

That's Sky Sports for you though, they're nothing if not dramatic. All they care about is getting the story first, the details come a distant second. I would like to see those guys out of the picture as well but I wouldn't really be educated enough to rate St Ledger and Foley yet.Quote:

Dont think his ability has ever been in question. Ball is in his court.
I have never had strong feelings against Stephen Ireland. I think the current situation is very unfortunate and frustrating, but I would welcome him back and celebrate his future, hopefully positive, contribution to the Irish team.
That being said, he would never become any kind of 'fan favourite' for me - but that doesn't really matter!
All he has to do is pick up a phone! Surely he is talented enough to do that.Quote:
